SONY MDR-EX58V/BLK In-Ear EX Earbud with Volume Control (Black) SONY MDR-EX58V/BLK In-Ear EX Earbud with Volume Control (Black)

Pros: Great sound, in-line volume is great during workouts, really good price for the quality.

Cons: Durability. This is the third pair I've had. I keep buying them because I do really like them BUT there is always a weak spot in the cord wiring. It's either right near the plug or at the right earbud. Sony's warranty is short so you just end up buying another pair. The last pair I had lasted around 6-8 months. I use my earbuds almost every day, so I have to have something I like, but I wish they could make something more durable.

Pros: 1. Great build quality
2. Good audio range.
3. Beefy Bass
4. Cord length is optimal for exercising.
5. Very snug fit, they never fall out of my ears.
6. Multiple ear cups, 3 different sizes.

Cons: 1. Packaging is awkward.
2. Bass might be a bit too beefy for some music.
3. Personally, after a while the snug fit can can cause inner ear fatigue.

Other Thoughts: Great bargain, decent warranty, Sony quality. I would buy them again.

Pros: Strong, angled plug
In-line, analog volume control
Sliding cinch for earbud cords (prevent tangling)
Sound great
Cheap
Comfortable (on me anyway)

Cons: None

Pros: -Great sound isolation.
-Beautiful sound - excellent range, clarity, pleasantly surprising bass for an earbud
-Very comfortable on the ears - 3 bud size options
-Volume control is very small and doesn't get in the way

Cons: -None so far!

Pros: deep, rich sound (the 12 hours I got to listen to them)

Cons: poorly constructed. Easily broken.

Pros: Sounds great. 7k-23k or so frequency response. It came with s/m/l sizes of ear things. The volume control seems to be of better design than most. They are very comfortable. The cord is long enough, maybe too long, but is a very flexible silicon stuff that might last a while.

Cons: None. I haven't checked the price of replacement ear pieces yet though.

Other Thoughts: If you are into earbuds instead of headphones these are excellent. Buy these and give them a shot before you go pay a stupid amount for Beats or something that sounds worse. I normally use big old school nice headphones with 53mm drivers. These little guys amazed me.

Pros: The sound you get for the price is worth it. No issues with the build quality.

Cons: The bass is good but can drown out the music at times.

Pros: These earbuds sound fantasic at any volume you set them to, the inline volume control is handy if you've got your media device in your pocket, they don't have silly looking garbage on them (unlike SkullCandy), and the price is just great.

I would absolutely recommend these.
Incredible what they deliver for so little money.

Also, I've had these for over a year now, and haven't had any problem with their durability.

Cons: none!

Pros: These earbuds are as close to audiophile quality as you'll get in this modest price range. Forget anything offered by phillips at this price, they simply don't compare.

The highs are crisp and clean, the midrange is present without overstepping its bounds, and the bass is well rounded without being boomy. These earbuds actually work well without any EQ at all, which I did not expect to be possible. They play loud and clean all day long, and make mp3's sound as good as they can. The smoothness and the flatness of the response is very non-fatiguing, I feel I could have them on for weeks. I'm truly staggered by how much I got for my money.

The build quality is also superb. The plastic is of high quality, and the integrated strain relief give me peace of mind that they won't be shorting out anytime soon. The wire insulation feels durable, made of soft rubber, not the cheaper plasticy stuff. The earpieces are amazingly soft and exceedingly comfortable. Again, blown away by these buds

Cons: None, absolutely none that I can see. The volume control is a bit useless for me, I'd personally rather pay a bit less for a version without one.

Most people have it ingrained in their head to use their device's volume controls. I can see how it might be convenient to some, but I am a creature of habit.

Other Thoughts: I've owned a few pairs of Sony's cheaper Bumpin' Buds, which were nice, but had a few problems, chief among which was the lack of a strain relief for the wire. This caused a terrible problem, in that the movement of the wire within the chamber during use would inevitably destroy the wire connection to the driver, causing a short. Before I found these, I went through 3 pairs of BB's each lasting less than 6 months. There was also a characteristic cheapness to them, the wire had cheaper plastic insulation, the earpieces weren't the best. The sound quality was good, but the midrange was a little shouty. Overall, while I liked them while they lasted, I wasn't entirely satisfied.

These, by contrast, are without fault. They are well worth the premium price over the BB's, because they're just plain better. They have every feature you need, they do not feel at all cheap, the sound quality is superb, and they seem like they'll last for years of use. I am immensely satisfied. Buy these!
